No work has yet been done on the
survey between Ireton and Brandon,
via Canton, Chief Engineer Mcintyre
being still confined to his room at the
Harlan with the fever. But matters at
the other end of the line are developing
at rapid rate. From the Journal we
learn that articles of incorporation of
the Sioux City and Northern Railroad
company were filed at Sioux City Tues
day. The incorporators are men we'll
known In Sioux City as rushers in any
enterprise that they undertake, and the
new scheme will not lag while they have
control of it. The board of directors Is
composed Of T. P. Gere, A. S. Garrett
son. d. r. Hedges, John Hornick, John
Peirce, F. G. Hills, c. l.. Wright and Ed
Haakinson, who will manage the affairs
of the company until the annual cleo
tion in May next. The purposes of the
company. as set forth in the articles,
are to build, construct and operate lines
of railroads from Sioux City in a north
erly direction through Woodbury.,
Plymouth and Sioux counties, and then
by the most practical route through one
or more of the counties of Lyon, Osce-
ola, O'Brien and Dickinson, to one or
more points on the boundary line be-
tween the states Of Iowa and Minnesota
and between Iowa and Dakota, and
thence to Duluth, MINI. and Minot.
Oak.
Continuing further the Journal says:
In the early part of the season a line
of survey, OF. in fact several lines were
run. between this city and Marshall,
Mimi, q point on the Manitoba exten-
sion now being built to Sioux Falls.
During the past few weeks the people
of Canton. Oak, have become interest
ed in the scheme. and have held ameet-
ing and decided to make an effort to in
duce the line to defect enough to the
westward to touch that town, promis-
ing substantial aid in case such ar
rangements could be made 1t is not
unlikely that such a route will finally
be selected. The movements of the
company will be watched with interest
by Sioux City people, who are just now
eager for any line Of road that Will
bring additional territory within reach

Valley City Times: There are those
who view the late militia encampment
as detriment rather than benefit to
the territory. The unfortunate embro-
Clio which has given rise to charges
and counter charges, all of which will
obtain credence in one or the other
quarter, will leave distrust and suspic.
ion where there should have been pro-
found respect and confidence. The
curtain has been raised too high. The
public has been given more extended
vision of the sights and scenes in the
background than was good for either.
In short, ignorance was bliss"

Sore Eyes

The eyes are always in sympathy with
the body, and afford an excellent index
of its condition. When the eyes become
weak, and the lids infiamea and sore, it
is an evidence that the system has
become disordered by Scrofula, for
which Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best
known remedy.
Scrofnla, which produced a painful ip-.
fammation in my eyes, caused me much
suffering for a number OF years. BY the

y QUEER CASE.

A peculiar murder case has recently
come to a termination in Kentucky,
where they are largely given to
peculiar cases. One cold winter night
a man and his wife INDUCED in a
quarrel and fight, pastime with which
they had long been familiar. The
husband threatened her life and
started to get knife with which to
carry his threat into execution. The
woman ran out of the house, and was
Lot seen again until next day, when
her dead body was found in a snow
bank, death evidently having resulted
from exposure. The husband was
arrested, indicted and tried, and found
guilty of manslaughter, the Judge
having charged the jury that if the
woman fed through fear OF death or
great bodily injury at the hands of her
husband, and died from exposure, he
was crlminally liable for her death.
The defendant carried the case to the
Coart OF Appeals which has set aside
the verdict, holding that the trial
Judges charge was erroneous. The
Court says: The jury were authorized
by the instruction 10 convict if thew be
lieved the accused used such force and
violence ss to cause the deceased to
leave the house from fear of death OF
great bodily harm at his hands. Sin.
they were not instructed as they should
have been before the convicting, to be-
heve, nor permitted to inquire whether
or not such fear was well grounded or
reasonable" The Court further sug-
gested that the jury might have reached
q different conclusion if it had been al
lowed TO take into. consideration ,ba
fact that the wife, on one occasion. had
soundly whipped her husband and
demonstrated her ability to take care OF
herself.

MINORITY REPRESENTATION.

In the Constitution for Utah which
was formulated and adopted in 1872 the
principle of minority representation
vas embodied. It was thoroughly dis
eussed in the convention and the provi-
sion was inserted as the best judgment
of that body of wise and able men. The
people warmly approved the principle,
and regrets were expressed that the
Constitution of 1882 did not contain the
clause. The principle is a good one, and
we trust f1e corning convention will
embody it in the Constitution to be
framed now. The majority can never
be injured through yielding liberal
representation to the minority. The
latter cannot command the power TO
deprive the majority of any OF its
rights, bat it may be able 10 protect, by
proper representation, its own rights.
Aside from the fact thatit is only justice
that all classes of the commonwealth
shall have voice in making laws
and tie administration of gov
tIlLltuG, duU " hAON HAdS IS
going on, there is another reason
why it is proper for tie minority to
have representation in public matters.
They should have such representation
for the protection of maiorities against
themselves. Unmatched, unchecked a
majority is very apt to abuse its power;
IL is liable to make mistakes which it
would not make if an intelligent
minority were on watch and would |
compel due consideration of actions and |
measures. Again, no majority will
ever suffer from being liberal to a
minority, no matter how hateful and
revolutionary that minority may be-
The majority can always protect itself,
and guard the trust reposed in it by
the people, while its generosity will
have tendency to win the minority, or
ct least to hold the latter within reason
able bounds.
We hope the convention will see the
wisdom and the justice of making
liberal provision for minorities.
